B．MakingdecisionsC．Self-confidence D．Peerpressure【答案】8．C9．D10．C11．D【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述是如何处理青少年中来自同龄人压力的建议。8．推理判断题。根据第一段“Asyougrowolder,you’llbefacedwithsomechallengingdecisions—likewhethertocutclassortrycigarettes.Peoplewhoareyourage,likeyourclassmates,arecalledpeers.”随着年龄的增长，你会面临一些具有挑战性的决定——比如是否要旷课或尝试吸烟。和你同龄的人，比如你的同学，被称为同龄人。由此判断出，短文是写给学生的。故C正确。9．主旨大意题。根据倒数第三段“Payingattentiontoyourownfeelingsandbeliefsaboutwhatisrightandwrongcanhelpyouknowtherightthingtodo.”关注你自己的感觉和信念，了解什么是对的，什么是错的，可以帮助你知道做正确的事情。根据倒数第二段“You’veprobablyhadaparentorteacheradvisingyouto“choose

yourfriendswisely.”你的父母或老师可能建议你“明智地选择朋友”。根据最后一段“Ifyoucontinuetofacepeerpressureandyou’refindingitdifficulttohandle,talktosomeoneyoutrust.”如果你继续面对来自同龄人的压力，你觉得很难处理，那就和你信任的人谈谈。顒在最后三段中，作者主要给出了如何应对同龄人压力的建议，故选D项。10．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两行“Ifyouchoosefriendswhodon’tcutclass,smokecigarettes,orlietotheirparents,thenyouprobablywon’tdothesethingseither,evenifotherkidsdo．”如果你选择的朋友不逃课，不抽烟，不对父母撒谎，那么即使其他孩子这样做，你也可能不会做这些事。由此判断出说明我们可以选择一些有良好习惯的人做朋友，这样就会受到他们的影响，也会有良好的习惯，故选C项。11．

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Peoplewhoareyourage,likeyourclassmates,arecalledpeers.Whentheytrytoinfluencehowyouact,togetyoutodosomething,it’scalledpeerpressure.”可知，和你同龄的人，比如你的同学，被称为同龄人。当他们试图影响你的行为，让你去做某件事时，这叫做同龄人压力。以及下文如何处理青少年压力的建议。所以短文的最佳标题为“

同龄人压力”。故选D项。Whenitcomestofriends,Idesirethosewhowillsharemyhappiness,whopossesswingsoftheirownandwhowillflywithme.Iseekfriendswhosequalitiesilluminate(照亮)meandtrainmeupforlove.ItisforthesepeoplethatIreservetheglowinghours.WhenIwasintheeighthgrade,Ihadafriend.Wewereshyand“tooserious”aboutourstudieswhenitwasbecomingfashionablewithourclassmatestolearnacceptablesocialbehaviors.Wesaidlittleatschool,butshewouldcometomyhouseandwewouldsitdownwithpencilsandpaper,andoneofuswouldsay,“Let’sstartwithatrainwhistletoday.”Wewouldsitquietlytogetherandwriteseparatepoemsorstoriesthatgrewoutofatrainwhistle.Thenwewouldreadthemaloud.Attheendofthatschoolyear,we,too,werechangingintosocialcreaturesandthestoriesandpoemsstopped.WhenIlivedforatimeinLondon,Ihadafriend.HewasindespairandIwasindespair.Butourfriendshipwasbasedontheideaineachofusthatwewouldbesorrylaterifwedidnotexplorethisgreatcitybecausewehadfeltbadatthattime.WemeteverySundayforfiveweeksandfoundmanyexcellentthings.Wewalkeduntilourdespairsdisappearedandthenweparted.WegaveLondontoeachother.ForalmostfouryearsIhavehadaremarkablefriendwhoseimaginationilluminatesmine.Wewritelonglettersinwhichweoftendiscoverourstrangestselves.Eachofusappears,sometimesinafunnyway,intheother’sdreams.SheandIagreethat,atcertaintimes,weseemtobepartsofthesamemind.Inmymostinterestingmoments,Ioftenthink,“Yes,Imusttell…”,thoughwehavenevermet.ItissuchcomfortingcompanionsIwishtokeep.Onebrighthourwiththeirkindnessisworthmoretomethanthelifetimeservicesofapsychologist,whowillonlyfillupthehealingsilencenecessarytothosedarkestmomentsinwhichIwouldratherbemyownbestfriend.12．Intheeighthgrade,whattheauthordidbeforedevelopingpropersocialbehaviorwasto________.A．becomeseriousaboutherstudy

D．LifelongFriendship【答案】12．D13．A14．B15．B【导语】本文是记叙文。作者通过讲述自己在人生的不同阶段所遇到的几个好朋友的经历，来告诉我们朋友对于我们人生的重要意义。12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Wewouldsitquietlytogetherandwriteseparatepoemsorstoriesthatgrewoutofatrainwhistle.Thenwewouldreadthemaloud.Attheendofthatschoolyear,we,too,werechangingintosocialcreaturesandthestoriesandpoemsstopped.(我们会安静地坐在一起，分别写一些诗歌或故事，这些诗歌或故事都是从火车的汽笛声中产生的。然后我们会大声读出来。那个学年结束时，我们也变成了社会人，故事和诗歌也停止了。)”可知，在八年级的时候，作者在培养正确的社会行为之前所做的就是和她的朋友分享诗歌和故事，故选D。13．词句猜测题。根据划线句子上文“Butourfriendshipwasbasedontheideaineachofusthatwewouldbesorrylaterifwedidnotexplorethisgreatcitybecausewehadfeltbadatthattime.WemeteverySundayforfiveweeksandfoundmanyexcellentthings.Wewalkeduntilourdespairsdisappearedandthenweparted.(但是我们的友谊是建立在我们每个人的想法上的，如果我们没有探索这个伟大的城市，我们会后悔，因为我们当时感觉很糟糕。我们连续五个星期每个星期天都见面，发现了很多很棒的东西。我们一直走，直到我们的绝望消失，然后我们分开。)”可知，作者和朋友在伦敦时都很绝望，但他们一起探索伦敦，一起寻找美好的事情，直到他们的绝望的感觉消失了，这说明探索伦敦让他们都很难忘，由此可推知，划线句子“WegaveLondontoeachother(我们把伦敦给了对方)”意思是，对伦敦的探索对作者和朋友来说都是一份难忘的礼物，故选A。14．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Onebrighthourwiththeirkindnessisworthmoretomethanthelifetimeservicesofapsychologist,whowillonlyfillupthehealingsilencenecessarytothosedarkestmomentsinwhichIwouldratherbemyownbestfriend.(对我来说，与他们友好相处的美好时光比一位心理学家一生的服务更有价值，心理学家只会填补那些最黑暗时刻所必需的治愈沉默，在那些时刻，我宁愿做自己最好的朋友)”可知，在最黑暗的时刻，作者宁愿独处，故选B。15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Whenitcomestofriends,Idesirethosewhowillsharemyhappiness,whopossesswingsoftheirownandwhowillflywithme.Iseekfriendswhosequalitiesilluminate(照亮)meandtrainmeupforlove.ItisforthesepeoplethatIreservetheglowinghours.(说到朋友，我渴望那些愿意分享我的幸福，拥有自己的翅膀，愿意和我一起飞翔的人。我寻找的朋友，他们的品质启发了我，培养了我的爱。正是为了这些人，我保留了光辉的时刻。)”可知，作者通过讲述自己在人生的不同阶段所遇到的几个好朋友的经历，来告诉我们朋友对于我们人生的重要意义，结合最后一段中“ItissuchcomfortingcompanionsIwishtokeep.(我希望能有这样一个安慰人心的伙伴关系。)”可知，作者对Companions(伙伴)进行了高度评价，B项“高尚的伙伴”适合作文章标题，故选B。二、七选五GetaThoroughUnderstandingofOneselfInallone’slifetime,itisoneselfthatonespendsthemosttimebeingwithordealingwith.16Whenyouaregoingupwardsinlifeyoutendtooverestimateyourself.Itseemsthateverythingyouseekforiswithinyourreach.17It’slikelythatyouthinkitwiseforyourselftostayawayfromtheouterworld.Actually,togetathoroughunderstandingofoneself,youmayaswellkeepthefollowingtipsinmind.Gainacorrectviewofoneself.Youmaylookforwardhopefullytothefuturebutbesurenottoexpecttoomuch,fordreamscanneverbefullyrealized.Youmaybecourageoustomeetchallengesbutitshouldbecleartoyouwheretodirectyourefforts.18Self-appreciate.Whetheryoucompareyourselftoahighmountainorasmallstone,yourepresentastateofnature.19Ifyouearnestly(诚挚地)admireyourself,you’llhavearealsenseofself-appreciation.20Intimeofanger,doyourselfafavorbyreleasingitinaquietplacesothatyouwon’tbehurtbyitsflames;intimeofsadness,doyourselfafavorbysharingitwithyourfriendssoastochangeabadmoodintoacheerfulone;intimeoftiredness,doyourselfafavorbygettingagoodsleep.Getafullcontrolofone’slife.Thenonewillfindone’slifefullofcolorandflavor.A．Dooneselfafavorwhenit’sneeded.B．Ithasitsownvalue.C．Doyourselfafavorwhenyouresisttheattackofillness.D．Especiallyifitiswellwithinyourreach,youarejusttooblindtoseeit.E．Butitispreciselyoneselfthatonehastheleastunderstandingof.F．Whenyouaregoingdownhillyoutendtounderestimateyourself.G．Solongasyouhaveaperfectknowledgeofyourself,therewon’tbedifficultiesyoucan’tovercome.【答案】16．E17．F18．G19．B20．A【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了对自己深入了解，你的人生才会充满色彩，作者给了几点建议。16．E选项“但人们最不了解的恰恰是自己。”与上文“Inallone’slifetime,itisoneselfthatonespendsthemosttimebeingwithordealingwith.(在人的一生中，与自己相处或相处的时间最多的是自己)”形成转折关系，表明人与自己相处时间最多，但最不了解自己，呼应标题“GetaThoroughUnderstandingofOneself(深入了解自己)”讲深入了解自己的重要性，此处承接上文，E选项“但人们最不了解的恰恰是自己。”切题。故选E项。17．F选项“当你走下坡路时，你往往低估了自己。”与上文“Whenyouaregoingupwardsinlifeyoutendtooverestimateyourself.(当你在生活中向上走的时候，你往往高估了自己)”形成对比关系，表明人有高估和低估自己的时候，承接上文，F选项“当你走下坡路时，你往往低估了自己。”切题。故选F项。18．由小标题“Gainacorrectviewofoneself.(正确看待自己)”可知，本段讲对自己深入了解的建议之一：正确看待自己，此处承接上文，G选项“只要你对自己有一个完美的认识，就不会有你无法克服的困难。”切题。故选G项。19．由上文“Self-appreciate.Whetheryoucompareyourselftoahighmountainorasmallstone,yourepresentastateofnature.(自我欣赏。无论你把自己比作一座高山还是一块小石头，你都代表着一种自然状态)”可知，本段讲对自己深入了解的建议之一：自我欣赏，被欣赏的东西各有其价值，此处承接上文，B选项“它有自己的价值。”切题。故选B项。20．该空选取小标题，需概括下文。由下文“Intimeofanger,doyourselfafavorbyreleasingitinaquietplacesothatyouwon’tbehurtbyitsflames;intimeofsadness,doyourselfafavorbysharingitwithyourfriendssoastochangeabadmoodintoacheerfulone;intimeoftiredness,doyourselfafavorbygettingagoodsleep.(在愤怒的时候，帮自己一个忙，把它放在一个安静的地方，这样你就不会被它的火焰伤害；在悲伤的时候，帮自己一个忙，和朋友分享，把坏心情变成愉快的心情；在疲倦的时候，睡个好觉，帮自己一个忙)”可知，本段讲对自己深入了解的建议之一：需要的时候帮自己一个忙，此处承接下文，A选项“需要的时候帮自己一个忙。”切题。故选A项。三、完形填空I’vebeenobsessed(痴迷的)withlanguagesforaslongasIcanremember.Mydadcouldtalktoeveryonewithease,confidently21betweenlanguages.Hisabilitiesmadeabigimpressiononme,buthedidn’t22metofollowhislead.Iwasn’ta(n)23languagelearner.ImadeslowprogresswithFrenchatschoolandalmostgaveitup.ButthingsfeltdifferentwhenI24Germanatuniversity—lovingmanyGermanwritersintranslation,Iwantedtoreadthemintheir25tongue,andthat’sbeenmymain26forlearningnewonessince.OnceIgotGerman,Iwas27;French,Latin,GreekandSanskritquicklyfollowed.Theideaofhavinga28overviewoftheworldhasalwaysfascinatedme,and29languagesseemedagoodwayofachiev
